Reviews
This volume is a valuable, even a necessary, piece of the modern story of Christianity. I think such a marvelous work echoes some of the similar discerning outlook of Diarmaid MacCulloch's splendid Christianity: The First Three Thousand Years. -Michael Plekon, author of The World as Sacrament The reader comes away with a clear and nuanced picture of the Old Catholic movement, a real appreciation for the depth of the ecumenical thinking it inspired, and a good grasp of interconfessional relations in the nineteenth century. -Paul Valliere, author of Conciliarism
